I have given you everything you need to do what I have called you to do. Do not let the enemy defeat you. Your thoughts are controllable. I have given you self-control. Take your thoughts captive and believe Me, not the evil one. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 Galatians 5:23

A Daily Choice
My child, life is a daily choice. You choose what to believe and you choose how to act. You have the choice to have a good attitude or to be in a bad mood. I have given you self control. It’s one of the fruits of the Spirit. Making the right choices requires intimacy with Me. Walk in My Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.
Galatians 5:22 5:16
Self Control
Leave a reply
My child, run in such a way that you may win. Exercise self-control in all things. Run not without aim, but run with purpose in every step. Don’t just shadowbox. Discipline your body like an athlete, training it to do what it should, so that after you have preached to others you yourself won’t be disqualified.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Joy and Peace
My child, I want people to be encouraged. I desire joy and peace. This world has a lot of negative forces and the evil one would love to drag you down. But the fruit of My Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. You have crucified your flesh. Now walk by My Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-25
Discipline and Self Control
My child, think of your flesh as a toddler who wants what he wants when he wants it. He throws a tantrum until he either gets what he wants or he is disciplined by loving and caring parents. Your flesh must be brought under discipline and self control or it will rage out of control. Undisciplined flesh leads only to death. Discipline, by the power of My Holy Spirit will bring about self control and the change of fleshly habits. A successful life is a disciplined life. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening – it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.
Hebrews 12:11 NLT
Live in Victory
My child, in Me there is strong confidence. In Me is a fountain of life. In Me is wisdom, understanding, peace and joy. Those who seek Me will find Me when they seek Me with their whole heart. For I am God and I love you. I am God and I wish that none should perish. I do not give you a spirit of fear, but I give you a spirit of power and of love and a sound and disciplined mind. I provide discipline, self-control, gentleness, faithfulness, goodness, kindness, patience, peace, joy and love. If you live by My Spirit you will walk by My Spirit. You will be an overcomer. You will have victory if you allow Me to live through you.
Proverbs 14:26&27, Jeremiah 29:13, 2 Peter 3:9, 2 Timothy 1:7, Galatians 5:22&23
What Are You Overcome With?
Second Peter 2:19 says, “For by what a man is overcome, by this is he enslaved.”
My child, are you overcome with fear, guilt, anxiety or shame? Or are you overcome with truth, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? Those who belong to Me have crucified the flesh with it’s passions and desires. If you live by the Spirit you will also walk by the Spirit. Choose to walk in Me today.
